Some, but not all, of our graduate programs have specific application deadlines. Those departments that do not have specific deadlines listed use rolling admissions, which means that you may apply any time prior to August 1 for fall term admissions and December 15 for spring term admissions. These are the dates by which your applications must be complete, meaning that all required documentation must be received in the Graduate School by these dates.
Students may apply for admission to programs that have deadlines even after the deadlines have passed. In such cases, the academic department will make the decision whether or not to consider the application. Applicants who apply after the deadline are cautioned that their applications may or may not be reviewed.
